2024 Horror Challenge: [37/?]
↳“Charlotte Brice: 7 years old. Yellow dress, pink shoes, white socks. Abduction, right in front of her mom.“ Amber Alert (2024) dir. Kerry Bellessa
Plot: A ride-share turns into a high-stakes game of cat and mouse after it follows a car fitting the description of an AMBER ALERT.
Starring: Hayden Panettiere, Tyler James Williams, Kevin Dunn, Saidah Arrika Ekulona, Kurt Oberhaus & Katie McClellan
More catching up on reviews and I'm well aware this movie being included for a horror challenge is probably a total reach since the debate between straight-up thrillers getting labeled along horror is there but I felt like it. lol When it turned out the abductor was a serial child killer as well it feels less wrong to claim it as at least adjacent to horror cuz that was a slight shift in the narrative to make it a little darker. And well, I did also include Compliance this year, and this certainly has more thrills than that. Also, I just felt like talking about the movie. I didn't have a lot of expectations for it since besides the casting, it did seem like something you'd maybe watch on Lifetime but I was still curious about it. I didn't even realize this was a remake of a 2012 movie by the same director (I believe it was given the found footage treatment?? Had no idea about it) so that was interesting to find out. I'll say there were some plot choices that logically don't really work (I mean, the actual plot itself is a little unrealistic the whole time but it is a movie so lol) and it feels kinda slow in the middle. I think focusing on the main characters' personal lives the way they did kinda hindered the thriller part of the story because the tension gets lost. Also, it makes you kinda have issues with Tyler's character I would say cuz it sounds as if he's a flaky dad and he's choosing to be again but at least this time for a good reason. But I guess they figured he's such a charismatic actor, we'd be able to gloss over that fact idk :/ And then we get a monologue from Hayden later on explaining why she's so passionate about saving the girl that feels like a reach. So, like I said, the middle lags a bit. But I was drawn in at the beginning though. Hayden & Tyler worked really well together imo and kept me engaged, even when it was losing me a little. I've seen people say Hayden could have been better but I think she was perfectly fine. She's meant to be a little guarded in the beginning but I definitely felt her determination to find the little girl throughout. Katie McClellan should be given props imo cuz she really sold her heartbreak and rage over her kidnapped daughter in what scenes she had. Overall, the supporting actors were pretty good, if not possibly underused but it's fine. Not gonna lie, the last act was giving Lifetime vibes because I'm pretty sure they spend more time searching the abductor's house than actually having to confront him and the movie wraps up almost immediately afterwards. So, not a perfect movie by any means but it was a decent enough watch for the one time. Mostly because I rather like both the lead actors but hey, it could have been a lot worse so I'll take it. lol
